SERVICES AT OTHER CHURCHES.

DR.. Jeffery's Sermon on the Character of
Faithful Servants of Christ.
The First Baptist Church was thronged with
an unusually large audience yesterday morning,
is having boon announced that the pastor, Rev.
DIR. Jeffery, would take the occasion to speak
upon some subject appropriate to the recent
death of Prof. Geo. B. Loomis. who had been
for many years deacon in the church. The
choir. under the direction of VIM. C. Smock,
rendered fresh and fitting music, the
solo parts being finely sustained by Mrs. Geo. G
Branham and Mrs w. c. Smock
The theme of the discussion was taken from
the parable OF the ten talents set forth in the
23d verse of the 18th chapter of Matthew, s.Well
DONE good and faithful servant; enter thou into
the joy of thy Lord" DR.. Jeffrey said: The
idea which every Christian is called upon to
recognize from the first is that the great purpose
of the Christian life is service. Those who seek
to evade service under the i'm preston that they
can realize the ends of the Chri stan life with
out formally IDENTIFY ng themselves with the
church make mistake No man that under
stands that the measure of the Christian life is
the devotion of mis- whole being to the idea of
service will ever raj Sc such question. AS well
may man pretend that he can be good sol
der without joining the army. In fact, such
pretension is simply proof OF an evaslye, self
ish temper OF mind. If such one fatters
himself that he can serve Christ as well without
such an Identification he deceives himself. He
proves himself an idier. l never knew any man
from associating with Christian people. The
first impulse OF a converted man is to AJAX what
he can do. and under the power of that impulse
his first act, like Saul of Tarsus. will be

make mistake. even if they join the church,
who do 80 from m olives other than that of
conservation to service. Without this consecra-
ton they cannot be made happier il they imagine
that simply joining the church absolves them
from further responsibility. Against any such
notions the ideal Christian life expresses itself in
the passion of being useful in every way in
which the different allotmsnts of life gives them
opportunity, and continuing in such service
despite hindrances. and to the end OF life.
Such values and loves the
church of preparation
and opportunity for usefulness
Orr Lord teaches in this parable that he est-
mates the character OF each servant by the char
of the service rendered He does not
require the service, either in kind or
amount, of all whom He calls into his service.
He gave different sums to different servants. to
one five, to another two and to another one, to
each according to his several ability. This is

thrilling and practical in it's bear
ing upon the lives Of the audience of 125
young men assembled to hear him.
He very forcinly portrayed his struggles as to
which king should rule, manhood or alcohol,

CHIEF or POLICE.
A Change Considered Likely TO BE
Made.

Made.
The general opinion of those who
have he lr and read the testimony in
the Brady clse is that Justice Austin
will decide to hold him to answer
that there is enough doubt in the mat
ter to warrant him in having jury
decide as to whether Brady was the
guilty person or not.
1t is not unlikely that there will be
a change in the chieftainship OF the
police force very shortly. At least,
such seems to be the general opinion.
Uf late this opinion hasJgained ground,
and there has been such "a general de-
mand for a change of administration
that it is considered almost certain
that it will take place. 1t is understood
that the matter is held in abeyance
until a suitable person can be selected
and until the salary for the Office can
ne adjusted. The salaries of all If
the city officials is much smaller than
in other cities on the coast, and it is
the desire OF many that they should
he raised. Until this is settled no
election of the Chief of Police will
take place. The determination of the
Brady Case one way or another is not
likely to affect the matter, for it is
stated that there will be an investiga
ton at which serious charges will be
preferred. Whether this is true, time
will tell, but it is. as before stated
certain hat there will be a change in
the head of the Police Drpar ment.

to the worst form of bilious fever. In

OBTAINING A SUBSIDY.

Some weeks ago General Cook OF
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
road visited Durango, and while there
laid a proposition before the princi-
pal property.owners. 1t was that the
Santa Fe would run through the city
on line from Albuquerque to Salt
LAX. if 10000 bonus and depot
grounds were given. The proposition
was accepted and the money and
grounds pledged within Fix hours.
Surveyors were at once put into the
field and arc working rapidly over the
proposed route. The survey runs
from Albuquerque northwesterly to
Jemez Hot Springs, thence crossing
into Colorado, near Vallejo From
hero the line continues in a generally
northwesterly course and passes
through Durango and Montezuma
Valley, across the Colorado River to
Salt Lake City. The line would un-
doubtedly he a most important addi.
tion to the Santa Fe system and would
penetrate territory of which it could
probably hold undisputed possession
for some time. .--[San Francisco Cali.
